Yes, the categories are good. That's what I ended up doing. Set up a categories system for most used programs/games. Moved stuff around a bit. Might take getting used to, but most common stuff I use should now be available easily after a couple of clicks without scrolling. I don't mind scrolling/typing for items that I used once in a while; it's just having to scroll for a game that I run several times daily that annoyed me. And I liked to keep my desktop clean so don't generally put shortcuts there.
I'll see how it looks after it gets filled up with games/programs, but I think it should work. I loved those expanding menus, one of the last things left over from Windows 9x but there comes a time when you have to let go, I suppose.
----------------------------------
So in the week that I have been using it, the system froze on me 3 times now. Hope it's not a sign of things to come. None of the times I was doing anything special in particular. I was playing with settings in two of them (though at the time of free I wasn't changing any setting; just happened in the middle of reading). The third time it happened I was browsing Linux Mint forums on Firefox.
No error messages or anything. Just a complete freeze. Mouse and keyboard not responding.
Is there anything one can try doing in such a case? I just did a hard reset.
